  PLEASE NOTE:
  If these products have been used as a moisture barrier then it is the original applicators responsibility to also ensure any construction or expansion joints have been appropriately filled to provide a full and complete moisture barrier.

UNDERFLOOR HEATING

• Is underfloor heating installed?

  Yes

  No

• What type of underfloor heating is used

  Select Heated water pipes Electrical wires or electrical mat with self levelling over

  • Heated water pipes
  • Electrical wires or electrical mat with self levelling over

• Areas underfloor heating is installed

  Installed to total floor area

  Installed to only some areas

• List areas/rooms where underfloor heating is installed

FLOOR SCREEDS

• Have any floor screeds been installed

  Yes

  No

• What screed type has been installed

  Sand cement screed used

  Engineered cement used

• Was a moisture test or membrane installed before screed was installed?

  Yes

  No

• Please note when moisture reading not taken prior to any installed screed
  1: If moisture test reading is 75%RH or higher it will not be possible to install a membrane over top of screed as New Zealand flooring standards are for the membrane to be installed to concrete prior to any screed being installed.
  2: New Zealand flooring standards do not recognise the use of sand/cement screeds as they are not structurally strong enough for resilient vinyl products

• Provide proof of moisture test results prior to any screed being installed. Either photo or file upload.

CALIBRATION OF PROTIMETER

• Confirm Calibration test of protimeter. Hold pins of moisture probe across exposed wires of calibration check device (calcheck). The WME value is between 17-19. Values outside this range will require servicing of protimeter.

INSTALLING PROTIMETER HUMIDITY SLEEVES

• Is there any underfloor heating in slab? (If fitting surface mounted box flag N/A)

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Humidity sleeve cannot be used. Used surface mounted humidity box. (Instructions for humidity box below)

• Using protimeter in preliminary mode (when you touch front bulb on meter it should give a reading up to 1000) find dampest areas and mark with marker pen. . 3 plugs required per 100m2. Drill 3 x 14mm holes to max depth of humidity sleeve. Grind surface to remove any contaminants and install sleeves with paper sealing ring with glossy side up. Try and install in an area where minimal damage will occur from sub-trades. Fit caps and mark floor with felt tip pen with #'s 1 to 3 to identify each sleeve.

INSTALLING SURFACE MOUNTED HUMIDITY BOX's

• Will a surface mounted humidity box be required?

  Yes

  No

• Using preliminary mode of protimeter find 3 x dampest areas grind surface of concrete minimum size of box to remove contaminants. Seal bottom edge of box with plumbers putty and place onto concrete ensuring it has an airtight seal. Protect or cover against accidental damage from other trades. 3 required per 100m2. Careful placement is required to avoid sub trades damaging.
  Mark floor with felt tip pen with #'s 1 to 3 to identify each box.
